Courir pour les droits des femmes is a charity road race between L'Île-Saint-Denis and Villeneuve-la-Garenne, north of Paris. It coincides with International Women's Day and includes short, accessible distances: 1.5 km, 5 km, and 10 km, along with races for children and juniors. The event is untimed, emphasizing participation and support over competitive results.
The route follows urban roads, connecting the two neighboring communes in the Seine-side suburbs. Its message is clear: run for women's rights, gender equality, and the fight against sexist and sexual violence. The race also acknowledges the women who fought for the right to run, adding a deeper significance than a typical local fun run. It attracts individuals seeking a shared activity with friends as well as regular runners, and is listed among French women-focused running events, despite some discussion about the effectiveness of themed races for their stated causes.
